Reader LabThug helpfully pointed out that the blog at http://opensource.weblogsinc.com/ has been talking about the events at NYCBSDCON. Oh, I’m kicking myself for not going. Of special interest to readers here is a writeup on Jeffrey Hsu’s DragonFly talk.

Matthew Dillon started to think about writing his own bug tracker, to which the genral response was “Keep up the cool DragonFly work!”. Many people are leaning towards Jira, though Hiten Pandya still wants to evaluate Bugzilla or cvstrac if Jira does not work out by the time of the next release.

“There are only 2 days left to preregister for the first ever NYCBSDCon, to be held September 17th at Columbia University, in the Davis Auditorium.”

There’s more at the NYCBSDCon site. Among other notable speakers, our very own Jeffrey Hsu will be presenting “History, Goals, Objectives, and Structure of DragonFlyBSD”. I’d really like to go see this.

Matthew Dillon made a number of journaling-related commits today; in one of them, he included an extended writeup of some of the problems encountered when dealing with multiple transactions forwards – and backwards – in time.

Simon ‘corecode’ Schubert now has release, development, and preview versions of DragonFly built regularly on his server. In addition, he has the most recent version source for each type available as a .tar.bz2 file, for those who don’t want to grab it through cvsup.
